Being as old as I am, I can remember about 45 years of “The Troubles” in Ireland, I was watching the news this morning, and saw that the police had, once again had petrol bombs thrown at them.
I then thought to myself, they call that country Ireland, it is not connected to England, what of earth are we doing in the country. Over the last 45 years it has cost shed loads of lives and goodness knows how much money the British tax payer has had to fork out.
It would seem to me that, if they are not fighting, then they will think of something to fight about, it really is IMO just a total waste of money and effort on the part of this country to try and keep this country (Ireland) as part of the UK.
In this time of austerity is there any reason that we cannot have a referendum to say if we want them as part of our country? After all they have had one, so one may ask, should we have one?
Just thought I would ask
